Be Hopeful

“For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory;”

‭‭2 Corinthians‬ ‭4‬:‭17‬ ‭KJV‬‬

As we enter the eleventh month, there may be so many things that you set out to accomplish this year that are still not in sight. There may have been failed projects and lost opportunities. Do not let the trials of this life discourage you. You cannot escape the human experience of sorrow and loss. Even Jesus dealt with grief and testing. Be hopeful. Every circumstance is temporary. God is leading you to a glorious eternity which is the hope of your salvation. 

When you walk in the wilderness of testing, you will find incredible treasures in the midst of undesirable pain. You will learn to view trials through the lenses of untainted wisdom. All things at working together for your good. Your life is beautifully woven together with the thread of God’s mercy. 

“but Christ as a son over his own house; whose house are we, if we hold fast the confidence and the rejoicing of the hope firm unto the end.”

‭‭Hebrews‬ ‭3‬:‭6‬ ‭KJV‬‬

Be hopeful! God has not forgotten you. You may presently be in a season filled with darkness, uncertainty and pain but with God on your side, it will end with joy. God’s presence is home; a safe place to rest in. God will never leave nor abandon you. He is still faithfully fighting for you in ways you cannot see.

There is fullness of hope in God and in His Word. Let go of your mistakes and take hold of God’s strength. Open your eyes to see where He is already working in your life. Tune your ears to God’s voice so you hear all He has to share and His understanding. Pursue God’s heart so you can be filled with fresh hope.

With Love, Esinam.
